Old School Saturday Night Dinner

On Saturdays my dad would start peeling potatoes at five o'clock to be made into home made fries.  

He still does this if we come and visit on Saturdays because he knows how much we love it. Always proudly explaining what kind of potatoes he used this time. For the sake of vegetables he always makes a salad with it, if possible with homegrown vege from my mothers yard.

Picking Apples at De Olmenhorst

For my sisters birthday I gave her a so called adoptive tree. It's an apple tree you can adopt to stimulate the organic apple production. The idea is that they hang a sign on a tree with your name and when the apples are ripe you can go and harvest your own tree.

It was a surprisingly sunny and warm day for the time of the year when we went to harvest. Also the last day of the self-picking season, so a lot of festivities like pony riding and archery.

We went to pick our 25 kg of apples, ate some lovely apple pie, bought some fresh goat cheese at the farm shop and mainly had a very fun day and some fresh air. They almost every weekend have some special activities and you can of course just go for their lovely high tea which is what I'll be doing somewhere in the spring
